A furniture shop had a 10% discount storewide. The original price of a dressing table was $2900.
- How much was the dressing table after discount?
- Danny paid $4410 for a dressing table and a sofa. What was the original price of the sofa?
(a)
Discounted price of the dressing table in percent
= 100% - 10%
= 90%
100% of the price of the dressing table = 2900
1% of the price of the dressing table = 2900 ÷ 100 = 29
90% of the price of the dressing table = 90 x 29 = $2610
Price of the dressing table after discount = $2610
(b)
Discounted price of the sofa
= 4410 - 2610
= $1800
90% of the price of the sofa = 1800
1% of the price of the sofa = 1800 ÷ 90 = 20
100% of the price of the sofa = 100 x 20 = 2000
Original price of the sofa = $2000
Answer(s): (a) $2610; (b) $2000
